Ryan is relatively close to Lensak, and he doesn't know what the situation is like with his own leader, let alone an outsider.
They only know that Lensak is very strong and is the strongest combat power in District 13, but how strong he is and how he became stronger. Even Anderson, who is almost inseparable from him, has no answer.
"Let's go."
Lensak didn't care if Ryan discovered anything. After taking a look around the courtyard, he took steps and led Ryan to the door.
This time, Ryan, who had already woken up, did not mention letting him climb through the window. Lensak knocked on the door with his fingers and got a quick response.
"Come, come, Commander, please come in!"
Leina, who had already received the news from Shui Ling, opened the door and welcomed the two of them in with a smile.
For a moment, Ryan really thought that the whereabouts of himself and the group leader had been exposed. However, after entering the door, the smell of rice that had not dissipated from the tip of his nose told him that they were just trying to hold up the scene.
He glanced at Leina and instantly understood her childish thoughts.
What’s funny is, I don’t know what thoughts Leina instilled in the children, but the two apprentices actually stood aside and saluted Lunsak appropriately. Although they did not expect his arrival in advance, they still tried their best to make a gesture. He looked prepared.
Lensak glanced at the dining table, which was obviously hastily cleared, and looked at Leinna, who still had a little sauce on the corner of her mouth, and said something meaningful.
"You're an exorcist, and you're doing pretty well here."
This was not easy for Leina to accept. While she was mentally cursing at Lensak for poking people's painful spots, she followed Shuiling's instructions, wiped off the sauce, and dealt with Lensak.
"You're exaggerating! It's mainly because our boss is a nice person and gave me a chance to work. Otherwise, no matter if I'm an exorcist or a breeder, in District 13, even those who shouldn't work can't work."
After giving him a small reply, Leina turned her head short of breath. When she saw the figure at the top of the stairs, she immediately raised a smile and said to Dean who was coming down from the second floor: "Boss, we have a guest!"
"I see."
Dean walked up to Lensak, nodded his forehead and left chest, and performed a common greeting ceremony among people who have been given authority.
"Good day, Your Excellency."
Lensak paused, then tapped the side of his shoulder with a gesture that Dean had never seen before, as a return gesture.
"excuse me."
Behind him, Ryan's eyebrows twitched. After looking at each other, Dean ignored this detail in a tacit understanding.
Knowing that they had something to talk about, Leina took Lucy and Ronan in her arms and retreated into the courtyard.
"Please take a seat."
The door opened and closed, and Dean invited Lensak and Ryan to sit on the sofa.
Somewhat to his surprise, when faced with his invitation, Ryan shook his head slightly and chose to refuse, then took a step back and stood behind Lensak.
This disciplined stance immediately gave the following conversation a sense of solemnity and seriousness.
"I think you should know the purpose of my coming here."
Lensak looked at Dean and spoke slowly.
Dean asked knowingly, "For the deal I proposed today?"
He looked directly at Rensac, who was directly opposite him, and his eyes reflected the face of the leader of the Knights, whom he had never had formal contact with.
Counting the three days of the competition, Dean had not seen Lensak before, but he had never had such close contact.
This is a handsome man with brown hair and blue eyes who looks quite young.
Dean carefully observed the corners of his eyes, and found that there were no lines at all. From his appearance, he could not tell that he was a man who was at least thirty-five years old.
It was in stark contrast to Ryan next to him.
However, this young appearance does not make people feel unstable.
On the contrary, just by sitting there, this man made Dean feel a powerful aura belonging to a superior person.
Especially when he spoke, there was an energy consistent with his appearance.
"I can agree to your terms."
That vigor directly stimulated Ryan's heart.
He resisted casting questioning glances at Rensak, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
The leader wants to see Dean in person, isn't it just to avoid Anderson and Timothy and agree to his request?
Fortunately, Lensak soon broke his suspicion.
"But the conditions need to be changed. I hope you can add at least four more swan familiars to supply to the Knights, and promise not to sell them to outsiders."
Including the Royal Three Geese, there are seven species in total.
Dean narrowed his eyes and was about to refuse when Lensak said.
"Correspondingly, there is no need to stipulate a specific number. As long as it is a high-level mission issued by you, the Knights will take it seriously."
After thinking about it, Lensak added, "If no one can complete it, I will do it myself."
This sentence……
Ryan's expression became more and more weird.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of Lensak's words. After having been together for so long, the leader was not a big talker, and Ryan knew this.
He was just shocked that his captain still had such channels.
One wonders what kind of high-level tasks Dean, as a breeder, will issue, whether it is rare monsters or rare materials.
The former can be obtained through tyrannical force, but the latter is much more difficult.
Without channels, no matter how powerful you are, it will be in vain.
So Lensak dares to say this, or he has the confidence to say this, which can only mean that he holds unknown resource channels in his hands.
Only then can he rely on making this kind of guarantee to Dean.
The question then arises, since he has such channels, why is the Knights' financial situation still so tight?
Ryan couldn't help but wonder, did Timothy know that the leader had this kind of channel?
He carefully recalled everything in the past and felt that he probably didn't know about it. The reason was very simple. Timothy's behavior was like falling in the eyes of money. If he had known that the leader had this ability, he would have been killed long ago. After draining him dry by all means, how could Rensak be allowed to hide until today?
It doesn't make sense.
So, this channel is privately owned by Lensak?
I don’t know why, but thinking of this, Ryan’s mind suddenly flashed across the group leader’s weird etiquette just now.
Is there any connection between the two?
Lensak naturally sensed the violent mood swings of his men. He didn't explain where he would find the precious materials Dean needed. He just looked at Dean with a confident mind.
"Agree or disagree?"
Dean looked at him twice and fell silent.
In fact, negotiating with people like Lensak is very boring.
He doesn't give you any room to play, and directly puts his bottom line on the table. If you agree, you will make a deal. If you don't agree, you will break up.
Dean, who had always been arguing with Timothy, felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe this is the gap caused by different voices?
Dean pondered for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.
"make a deal!"
It's just a matter of selecting and breeding several more swan demon pets. It's not too difficult for him now.
In contrast, it is much more difficult to obtain those precious materials that have only been seen in books.
Being able to make complex things simple through exchange, Dean certainly had no reason to refuse.
